- As part of our Professional Certificate Program in Data Science, this course covers the basics of data visualization and exploratory data analysis
- We will use three motivating examples and ggplot2, a data visualization package for the statistical programming language R
- The course will start with simple datasets and then graduate to case studies about world health, economics, and infectious disease trends in the United States
- The course will also be looking at how mistakes, biases, systematic errors, and other unexpected problems often lead to data that should be handled with care
- The fact that it can be difficult or impossible to notice a mistake within a dataset makes data visualization particularly important
- The growing availability of informative datasets and software tools has led to increased reliance on data visualizations across many areas
- Data visualization provides a powerful way to communicate data-driven findings, motivate analyses, and detect flaws
- This course will give the skills that are need to leverage data to reveal valuable insights and advance career
